gliders Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Richard or hughesy ,or anyone else ,out of interest, is the polytranspar shimmer basically a transparent colour with pearl pigment ? Or a transparent colour with coloured pearl pigment. Cheers.....glider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 It is transparent color with colored pearl pigment. It comes in green, red, blue , violet and gold. The darker the back ground color the more the colored pigment shows up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gliders Posted February 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Thanks hughesy, looking again at polytranspar shimmer colours, its iridescent rather than pearlescent,so I suspect the iridescent pigment will be more transparent than pearl pigment ,will investigate further!

clemmy Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Trust Hughsey, To me the shimmer sounds like interference colors. They show a lot better on dark backgrounds. clemmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gliders Posted February 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Clemmy it Definitely looks and sounds like an interference pigment to me ,the interference pigments are different and colours are achieved slightly differently. Interesting stuff........cheers...glider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
